During 1999 dozens, if not hundreds, of 'philatelic covers' appeared, mostly airmail envelopes, many with the handstamp date 29 December 1999. It was obvious to anyone completely ignorant of Kurdish script that the addresses were written by the same hand, and that many of the envelopes had the same address written on them. Let's just say that it was, and still is, obvious that these covers were prepared for collectors. Many had the same senders details on the back of the envelopes, with an oval handstamp of Salahadin PO. | ![]() |
